while True: learn() News

Hey there!

It's us, your friendly neighborhood experimental indie game devs. It's a fact that while True: learn() is a game that is done by now, We're still happy to see new feedback from you, the players, years after the game was released! It's an honor and joy, and we are endlessly grateful to all of you!

We have some thoughts about future updates for the game (no dates or promises yet, though), but for now, we are exploring some new ideas, which we'd like to share with you!

As you may already know, we have released the v1.0 game of our next cat-themed game, Learning Factory, which PC Gamer once called 'an adorable factory game about machine learning and cats'. Adorable AND gigantic, we might add. A simple idea of a cat-themed tycoon led to almost 5 years in development and over 100 hours of content.

There's a demo if you haven't tried it yet:

As for our other game, Craftomation 101, a spiritual successor of while True: learn(), in which you get to actually use visual programming on goofy robots, things are going fine for it. We have prepared a plan of things that we're planning to add before the 1.0 release (here's a deep dive into it).

In the meantime, we were honored to be included in the 34th annual selection of pedagogically assessed games by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth of Germany, which, to be honest, sounds very cool to us! Give it a read if you happen to be a German speaker:



And yes, there's a demo for Craftomation 101, if you want to give it a spin:

Ivan the programmer now has some spare time (when he's not making updates for Learning Factory) to experiment with a new prototype. It's very, very early for any details, but it's safe to say that this project involves cats... and hexagonal tiles? Sure, why not:









Our lips are sealed for now, but stay tuned for more updates. To make sure you don't miss anything, do subscribe to our newsletter!

Remember how we called ourselves 'experimental game dev studio'? We sure love experimenting, and we have recently assembled another brave internal team to try something completely different. Some teammates have joined us - a game designer, an artist, and even an animator. And they're experimenting like it's going out of style!







Once again, we're deep in the pre-production stage right now; more gameplay types and art styles will be tested before - and if - we decide to move on.

But we will pick a direction eventually, so which one do you like more, 1, 2, or 3? Drop your thoughts in the comments or talk to us directly on our Discord server!

It makes even more sense because Discord server members will be the first to try out our next stage prototypes. Don't be a stranger!

We'll be in touch! But before we part ways for today, take a moment to gaze upon our studio's cats. As you can see, they are very well fed and taken good care of:











Until we meet again!

Hey friends,

This year it is dedicated to Ada Lovelace Day, celebrating the first programmer in the world. We've got over 80 participants this year, and you might find some familiar names and hidden gems there:

Happy hunting, and happy Ada Lovelace Day!

There isn't much to add to the headline: we've got a sale! Except maybe for the fact, that this is the biggest discount on while True: learn() so far, and the game will remain discounted until October 14!

If you want even more games about programming, you might like our latest game, Craftomation 101, in which you get to use visual programming to instruct a gang of goofy robots and terraform a frozen planet:

In our other game, Learning Factory, you get to use machine learning and build a factory on Mars, that produces items for sentient cats. We've just released our biggest content update for it, and the v1.0 is just around the corner:
